John Boril and his neighbor went outside to find sections of a tree trunk across the road.

John says that "An apparently dead or injured tree had snapped off and fell onto NE Serpentine Place. Nobody was hurt, and there was no property damage."

The City sent a crew out to clear the shattered pieces off the road.
